F1PerfView

What is F1PerfView

F1PerfView is a telemetry viewer for Windows, supporting GP2/GP3/GP3-2000/GP4 performance analysis,
F1RS/MGPRS2 telemetry files, LFS replay analyser files, and generic text files.
It includes most of the features that the internal GPx and
F1RS viewers have, plus a text view, a statistics view, a time difference graph, and a track
view. It also allows a combination of upto 256 perf files to be compared.

Live For Speed

If you're using F1PerfView for LFS you can get a detailed track view if you download
exported track data.
These .SMX files have to be extracted to a directory called data\smx within the LFS directory.
Make sure to specify the LFS directory in the F1PerfView options, so it can find these files automatically.
If F1PerfView could load the track data, the track view should look like this:

GP2

If you're using F1PerfView for GP2 you need to download and use
GP2Lap version 1.08 or newer
to extend the perf files with additional data needed for the new graph types and track view.
If you're using GP2Lap 1.14 or higher, then you need F1PerfView 1.7, but if you're using an older
version of GP2Lap then it's better to stick with F1PerfView 1.6.
Here's a screenshot of the track view using GP2Lap extended data:

Using 3D instead of 2D data files for LFS track map (track itself is still drawn in 2D).

30 Apr 2004 1.24

Fixed file filter and crash when adding files using the normal file dialog.

24 Apr 2004 1.23

Can open a maximum of one document now (with multiple buffers and views).
When opening a perf file, multiple files can be selected and all will be
compared to each other, if possible. The first file determines the track.

Shows the unit behind the average value at the bottom left of the graph view.

Improved time difference graph.

Improved selection precision in status bar.

Can add/remove overlays in graph view (only items that share the same unit).

Fixed overlay colors in graph view using line mode.

Draw track while dragging with mouse when flicker free drawing is enabled

LFS: Fixed background color of track view.

05 Jun 2003 1.22

LFS: added sector times to statistics view.

LFS: added support for other tracks than Blackwood. Same track with other config is also a different track.

LFS: for tracks without a route-defining path, a scaled travelled distance is used.

12 Dec 2002 1.21

Implemented alternative file dialog for LFS.

Buffer selection combobox in graph view shows colors.

Added more information in statistics view for LFS.

Added static camber as overlay to camber roll.

Context menu in track view only contains relevant items.

Disabled load/save setup for LFS (until implemented).

08 Dec 2002 1.20

Added support for Live For Speed, including detailed track view (thanks Scawen). See above for more information.

Using lateral acceleration for calculating position (for track view). Thanks to Ivanhoe Vasiljevich for supplying the formula's to calculate this.

Added longitudal and lateral acceleration to generic perf data.

Copying setup from first buffer when adding extra buffers that don't have their own setup loaded automatically.

Added delta_rear and delta_front wheel types.

Export range stored with columns, and an option for the column to only do the range check, not the export.

Added sample index (s) as column in text view.

Added cursor to driven line in track view.

X-zooming and scrolling not only for distance but for all items.

Added mouse wheel support for zooming in graph and track view. In graph view, hold shift to zoom y-axis.

Added cross cursor at value coordinate in cursor mode if x-type is not distance.

Added minimum and maximum x-values.

Added average value (in left bottom of combination view).

Redesigned export dialog.

Export only data within or outside a certain range.

Export multiple buffers appended.

Fixed longitudal and lateral acceleration for GPx perfs.

Fixed revs to be 100 lower in GP3.

Time and distance both always shown in status bar

Integrated csxedit.dll into executable.

24 Aug 2000 1.9

Parameterized wheel in combination view, so you can compare things like
ride height between multiple buffers for a specific wheel.

29 Jul 2000 1.8

Added support for GP3 perf files. To load them, first go to the options
and select GP3 as the primary game because this is how F1PerfView
distinguishes between GP2 and GP3 perf files.
Compared to standard GP2 perf files, GP3 perf files have two extra graphs:
longitudal and lateral acceleration.

Opening a new view won't reset zooming/cursor position in other views anymore.
Instead, the opposite will happen.

27 Feb 2000 1.7

Compatible with GP2Lap 1.14. If some track still don't show up, clear
the gp2lpdat directory in your gp2 directory. You then need to extract the
performance data again with GP2Lap 1.14 to get the right .seg files.

Fixed the revs in the stat view. It was shown in rad/sec instead of rpm.

Removed some graphs that had accidentally made it into 1.6 (and were buggy).
